Everyday since my dog, Kassie, was a puppy, we would ask her "Are you hungry?" before we fed her. Then bring the food to her kennel and put it in her dish. She would get excited and run to her kennel for her food.
Now all we have to do is ask "Are you hungry?" and she runs straight to her kennel.
UCS: Food -->UCR:Running to the kennel
CS: The Question CR: Running to the kennel

A parent is trying to potty train their 2 year old child. To get them to want to go potty in the toilet and not in a diaper, the parent decides to give the child a jelly bean each time they go potty in the toilet. To discourage the child from not going in the diaper, each time they go potty in the diaper the parent discourages the child by saying that big kids do not go potty in their diaper but by going in the big toilet.
Behavior trying to be acheived--Going potty in the toilet
Postive reinforcer--Jelly bean
Positive punisher--Discouraging from going in the diaper

Driving drunk would be considered an example of Operant Conditioning. The voluntary choice of driviving under the influence, and you recieve a ticket. The ticket would be considered the punishment and the behavior of driving drunk should decrease.

Growing up my mom was my soccer coach. Since I played Center midfield my mom expected me to always play my best and control the game. If i didn't play good or my team wasn't playing good my mom would point fingers at me because i was supposed to set an example. Since this happened i would always play to win so i wouldn't have to be yelled at on the field and at home.
desired behavior-- giving it my all during a soccer game.
consequence-- getting blamed and scolded if not playing well. Getting praised if i did play well.
behavior changed-- how well i played during a game

My brother Tony was told that if he did not rise his grades he would not be able to go to summer camp. My mom told him that if he washes the dishes and completes his homework, he could go to summer camp. But my brother does not do any of these, and Tony goes to summer camp. when my mom assigns him chores, he ignores her
We have our dog inside our house but is blocked from the kitchen by a baby gate. Whenever we want to get into the kitchen we have to remove this gate to pass, and our dog sometimes also follows through. Yet we have now trained him to return behind the gate by simply sounding his cookie jar.
Desired Behavior: To return behind the baby gate.
Positive reinforcer: Cookie
Behavior changed: My dog now runs behind the gate to receive his reward.

Every sunday morning after church my parents would make breakfast and I would always attempt to help them, but it would never really work out. My mom would always say "be careful, it's hot!" I never got burned though, so I never really thought about. Then one day I was trying to help and knocked the pan of eggs off the stove and tried to catch the pan. (A refelx) I learned it was really a hot pan...

If i dont buckle my seatbelt right after i start my car the annoying red light flashes and beeps. Now everytime i get into my car i buckle my seatbelt right after i statr my car so i dont have to hear the annoying beep and flashing light. So the chances of me not buckling after i get into my car decrease.

I remember one month I went about $500 over on my cell phone bill with texting. My Dad agreed that if i paid him all the overage fees I wouldn't get my phone taken away, after being broke for about 2 months i learned my lesson. :-P

Lets say you are speeding down higway 25 and you get pulled over by a police officer. If the officer gives you a ticket you most likely will not speed down 25 or at least be more watchful for CHP. Although if you are pulled over and the officer gives you a ticket then you are more likely to speed again.
positive reinforcer- ticket
positive punisher- not speeding

My cousins do not like to do homework. So their parents said that if they do their hw, they can watch television, play video games, or anything desirable. If they dont do it, they get no fun activities for a certain time period.

When my cousin got her license her mother prohibited a second teenager in the car with just my cousin alone. But she ignored her mom and still gave me and others a ride. But then she got caught at a parking lot with a few of her friends who were just in her car, she had no excuse whatsoever. Her mom grounded her, she took away her ipod, computer, cell phone, she couldn’t hangout with her friends for 4 weeks and she got a 2 hour lecture on the consequences of driving other teenagers.
Desired behavior- driving without teenagers
The consequence was the lecture and punishment (no friends for 4 weeks)
After that she didn’t give anymore rides and if you mention giving rides she will start telling you about the dangers of teenage driving.

Whenever i am doing some homework i really dont like, I always force myself to to a few problems then i get a little snack or watch TV for a while.

My family recently rescued a puppy from highway 25. To housebreak her we would ask her "Do you need to go potty?" and take her outside. Now, 3 months later, when we ask her "Do you need to go potty?" she will sit down and stare at the one who asked, as if saying "Yes".
However, if she just wants to go outside to dig, bark at neighbors, or chase birds, she will act as if she needs to go outside. We ask her, "Do you need to go potty?" and she will sit, as if saying "Yes".
She has trained my family?
Behavior trying to be achieved- Get humans to open door.
Reinforcement- Humans don't have a mess on the carpet to clean up.
We have been conditioned to avoid her behavior of making a mess inside.

Whenever my dogs are in my boyfriends room and we don't want them there we point and yell for them to get out. If they leave with just seeing the pointing they won't get yelled at.

Negative reinforcer-We'll stop yelling if the dogs get out of his room

My sister's dog used to always be fiesty whenever we fed him. So, my sister would make him sit and wait until she completely set the bowl down. In the beginning, he would charge his head towards his food before my sister would retreat the bowl back to where he could not touch it.
Now, he patiently waits until the bowl is set down on the floor and my sister steps away.
Desired behavior: not jumping ontop of the food and my sister when fed.
Consequence: The chance to eat his food. and to eat without it being taken away.
Change: The dog now waits until the owner lets him know it is okay for him to eat.

As a diligent AP student, I always do my homework...ok, not so much. However, I am punished for my laziness by recieving poor marks not only in the homework category, but on tests, as I am not prepared for the exams.
undesired behavior: skipping homework assignments.
desired behavior: passing the class with high marks.
consequence: recieving low marks on homework, quizzes, and tests.
behavior change: complete all my homework, so I am prepared for exams...ideally.

An example of operant conditioning could be when I'm riding my horse. If she does something unasked for like jetting off to a high speed when I didn't ask for it, I could allow her to run around, but when she gats tired of doing what she wants, I make her keep on running or working, so she'll learn that it's work and want to run anymore, because the consequences are unpleasant.
When I lived in Tres Pinos my dog, David, would jump out the window if he wasnt tied down somewhere inside of the house. When he would get out of the house the only way to get him back was to get close enough to him so that he could hear me and say, "Come here Stupid" in a really high pitched voice. He would come to me and I would tie him up.

Well, in around September my family got a dog and we really didn't want it to be anything like our last dog so we decided to train her early. For example we had a big bowl of dog treats and whenever she sat once we had told her to sit, we would give her a treat.
UCS: Treat
UCR:Sitting
CS: The word "sit"
CR: Sitting
